Democrats are crying foul over North Carolina Republicans changing state campaign finance laws.
Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson isto be North Carolina’s fourth Republican governor in a century, facing off against Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein. A significant obstacle in this endeavor is money; Stein has raised significantly more than Robinson, $18.6 million compared to Robinson’s $10.55 million.
North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, Republican candidate for governor, speaks at an election night event in Greensboro, North Carolina, Tuesday, March 5, 2024. On Tuesday, Republicans, who hold a supermajority in the state legislature, approved a campaign finance proposal that alters the reporting requirements attached to funding going to state parties. Democrats claim that the measure was a surprise and rushed through in order to allow Robinson to cultivate more donors who wouldn’t have to attach their names to his candidacy.
Robinson has alienated some donors with his controversial statements, which include saying the LGBT movement is turning the United States into a “hellhole” and calling homosexuality “filth.” “If you don’t want the accountability that you get as a donor supporting somebody who is a very extreme candidate, like a Mark Robinson, this is a way to hide your money,” Morgan Jackson, a senior adviser to Stein and incumbent Gov. Roy Cooper ,Republicans defended the measure as simply leveling the playing field in response to previous changes pushed by Democrats.
